St. Paul, May 9—On Tuesday evening, the 13th, a mock wedding and musical program under the auspices of the American Legion auxiliary will be held in the graded school auditorium at 8 o’clock. Proceeds will be used for equipment of boys’ sun parlors at O’teen. A most worthy cause, and an evening of genuine pleasure in store for all. Admission 35 cents and 25 cents.
